Have you ever stretched the truth about yourself on social media? Have you used a filter to enhance your profile image or post something that you thought was funny but a lot of people thought it was offensive?
Our online decisions tap
into who we are in face form. What we do and what we post, like, share,
re-tweet is a reflection of our behavior and how to portray ourselves in an
ethical way.
Ethical considerations
that people should face to present to people online are their personal
information such as your age, sex, and where you are from. A profile photo of
just yourself is also a good is also idea because the person does not want to
confuse you with someone else. What you post is also matters because it adds to
your personality. It tells your friends and followers what your interests you
have and what you care about. If you have a certain appearance on one social
platform you should be the same with all of them.
Some of the pitfalls/dark
sides of impression management are the photos, and posts that we get tagged in.
These can give us a good or bad reputation when it comes to the job search.
Another pitfall is that people may think you judgmental if you tweet or post
your opinion all the time. Your followers and friends may like or not like what
you have to say and you can be classified as that annoying friend on social
media. If you alter your social media face to be a certain way when your real
self is the opposite, it can cause some unnecessary drama. It can be messy on
all sides. For yourself, for people who know you personally, and people who
follow your online self.
Moderating what we say
and share with our social media accounts is key. Therefore, impression
management is typically in the back of our heads when we look at our social
media accounts.
